“This is a Vietnam-Afghanistan limited war operation not a George S. Patton WW II type all out war operation”

In other words, defeat instead of victory.

It will be an ultimate defeat in the end if there are more concessions at negotiating tables, land given to the terrorist state of Palestine etc.

These limited operations don’t eliminate enemies.

Israel had a shot at it in 1982 when it launched a major operation into Lebanon and had Yassar Arafat and the PLO trapped on the Beirut waterfront.

But the United States and other nations put the brakes on that operation of Prime Minister Menachen Begin and Defense Minister Ariel Sharon.

Italian and French troops, along with US Marines, were installed on the Beirut coastline as a buffer while the Israelis pulled back.....
